Former Super Eagles captain Mikel Obi has reiterated that a drastic action like a total overhaul of the board of the Nigeria Football Federation, needs to happen if the Super Eagles fail to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, which will be holding in the USA, Canada and Mexico.
The Super Eagles are on the brink of missing back-to-back FIFA World Cup tournaments after their poor run in the qualifying series, winning just two out of eight matches so far.
“If we don’t make it to the World Cup, I just think the whole board of the NFF have to go,” Mikel said on The Obi One Podcast.
“It is not acceptable that twice in a row we are not going to qualify for the World Cup. We are the biggest footballing country in Africa. I don’t care what anybody says, Nigeria is the biggest when it comes to African football”.
